This is a bit of disappointing news providing that the report from Autocar is correct. BenzBoost announced some time ago that the next generation W205 C63 AMG would get a 4.0 liter twin turbo direct injected V8 internally named the M177. The question that remained was whether the C63 would get a dual clutch transmission or go with the 7G-MCT transmission the current 63 AMG models use. This transmission is based on a traditional automatic although with the torque converter replaced by wet multi-plate clutches.

The transmission does not have one set of clutches for even gears and one set for odd gears so that the gear is already pre-selected for practically instant shifts. The advantage it does have though is in torque handling capability and as with the M157 engines that generate a good amount of torque the upcoming M177 twin turbo V8's output has Mercedes sticking with their tried and true 7G Speedshift trans.

The C63 may then have all wheel drive just like the CLA45 AMG little brother and the E63 AMG big brother. The CLA though does route its power through a dual clutch transmission but this is due to having a motor half the size of what will be under the C63 AMG's hood. The lack of a dual clutch is disappointing but due to the displacement advantage on its rivals this will not be a major performance disadvantage.

What transmission does AMG's premier performance car feature?
What transmission is the current "standard of the world" for performance cars?

I would love to meet your pompous ass at the track.
Enjoy spending our money while it lasts.

Go fuk yourself you arrogant douchebag!

This is the second time you threw that comment and I did not say anything the first time!

I'm spending MY MONEY, not yours , you cheap bastard!

You speak as if the USA is our only customer, well it isnt buddy. You need oil, we give it to you for a very good price I should mention. Dont like it, dont buy it , we have other customers from Russia, UK, Japan and the rest of Europe waiting in line for it.

Remember what King Faisal of KSA did to you in the 70's when he cut you out, where you were on bicycles? lol

Again, I'm spending MY MONEY not yours.
Your Money? Riiight

Go back and remain on topic. I did not insult you in the past for you to be throwing these silly comments.

Its pretty clear you dont like Arabs, thats fine, but keep it out of the forums. This is a car forum for car enthusiasts.

You wanna meet me at track. Come to Qatar next month for the drag championship or come to Yas Marina in the UAE in March for the roll-on Event or the event that @Sticky is organizing, I want to see what you have for me

I stress upcoming specs.
You troll me.
We all have our issues I guess.

No DCT, No worries. I'll just buy a S6.

I recently drove the new AWD E63S and the S6 back to back and I would without a doubt choose the S6. I have a little S4 right now for zipping around town and I'm close to trading it in for the S6. Not to mention I get the Audi Friends and Family VIP discount and that's 15% off sticker and the ability to return the lease at any point and they just buy it back and I walk away if I want to. That peace of mind and the APR tune for the S6 make it very hard to pass up.

If I met you in person, it would be to put you in your place, not to beat the $hit out of you, or to "race" your overweight luxury cruiser.
Nothing is worse than an internet tough guy hiding behind his computer.

I take my daily drivers to the track to determine the terminal velocity I paid for, not to race.

I prefer a lighter and more nimble car, and I think the S4 is the perfect size for a daily beater.
I really want the S4 to get the S6 drivetrain.
Since that probably won't happen, I was hoping the next C63 would get AWD and DCT.

My dream car for a daily beater would be the current C63 with the addition of AWD and a DCT. or a ATS-V with a LSA, AWD, and a DCT because I love the LSx engine. (although, I don't like Cadillac interiors or exteriors)

The next gen S4 will get a variant of the 3.0 TFSI with turbos instead of a supercharger. It should be similar if not the same thing that Porsche is using.

I thought Friends and Family discount was $300 over invoice? I have a buddy that works for Audi, never heard of 15% off msrp.

Don't worry about it bro, he is a complete idiot. Someone like you with high technical German Auto knowledge shoudnt be arguing with him. We shouldn't give him any advantage

We were making that much power in our driveways in the 1990's in street cars that weighed 3300lbs.
So, I don't understand why you think that stroking your family's checkbook for that in 2014 is something to brag about.
But, that is a quick boulevard cruiser that anyone would enjoy.

Calling me a douchebag and a idiot while behind the protection of your computer?
Exactly what I expect from Qatar.

You remind me of the foreign trust fund kids I used to give a real world education to on a ivy league campus while I was bouncing for extra cash in school. Thanks for the laughs.

As I expected, you low life motherfuker
@Sticky, this is Andrew Cluck, the long forgotten bastard who is out of business

Come to the UAE you piece of $hit and I'll show what I do outside my computer. btw, the customer that paid you 10K with nothing in return would love to see you face to face.

You came to the UAE in the past, so whats holding you now since your such a "man" lol?
